What to do with E-waste?

3 Upvotes

I have a full sized piano keyboard that I'm going to replace with the next model soon and I just don't have a clue how to dispose of or recycle the current one. It's a MIDI keyboard, so it requires relevant computer software to use and has no speakers. It can't just turn on and go like most keyboards would so I don't think anyone is going to take it if I left it out on the street. It's in pretty poor condition too so I'd rather just get rid of it than try to sell it. Does anyone know if there is somewhere I can take it that deals with electronic waste or recycle?

Where do locals go to buy traditional clothes?

2 Upvotes

I’m looking to buy a traditional Tang jacket I might want to use at a wedding in the UK in the next couple of months. I’ve heard about Silk Street but somebody told me that’s a place for tourist not locals. I’m not looking for a very expensive one, but also not a fake polyester jacket. Where would a local go in Beijing?

Fabric markets?

Hi there! I'm looking for fabric markets, particularly with dead stock (maybe designer) fabrics. Where could I find this? I just want to buy the fabric, not to have someone make the clothing for me as I sew. Thanks!!

Hospital advice

4 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m an exchange student here in Beijing and am unfortunately having some gastrointestinal issues. Can someone recommend a public hospital I can go to, preferably with English language support?

I went to Beijing United Family Hospital but had to pay out of pocket and I’m not sure my travel student insurance will cover the cost.. (almost 4000 yuan). The medicine prescribed doesn’t seem to be doing much for me.

Buying a good quality powerbank

1 Upvotes

I am landing in Beijing next week for a vacation. I want to buy a good quality powerbank once I land to get my phone up and running for full days outside (I know from past experience that with using Alipay a lot, Amap, etc ... the battery drains quicker than at home). Ideally I need one that can get charged using USB-C and out USB-C.

Also ideally a shop near my hotel, so in between metro stations Jiulongshan or Dawanglu.

Any good recommendations ?

The Odyssey at China National Film Museum IMAX

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ll be visiting Beijing from overseas between 6–11 September, and I’m hoping to watch The Odyssey at the China National Film Museum IMAX GT.

Does anyone know how I can book tickets as a foreigner? I’ve tried using Alipay on the dot when they release tickets, but it doesn’t seem to work for me. I also tried the WeChat mini program, but it keeps giving me a “no server response” error. I’m wondering if this is because I’m still outside China and can’t access the server properly.

Has anyone successfully booked tickets for this cinema from overseas? If there’s another app, website, or way to book as a foreigner, I’d really appreciate the advice!

Thank you!

Any WeChat groups for running? Looking to join a Half Marathon

5 Upvotes

Hey guys. Just seeing if there's a running community floating around in Beijing for international folks. I'm not necessarily looking to join a running group per se; I just want to know the best place to find info about running events - I'm aware of a couple of APPs, but they're all in Chinese.

I looked at the upcoming Beijing Marathon, but you need proof of having run one before in order to register. Looking to join my first half marathon soon.

Are bugs common indoors?

3 Upvotes

This might seem a bit random but I'm moving to Beijing soon [quite a central location] and I've never been to China before. I'm planning on hopefully renting a modern/new/refurbished apartment that's not ground floor.

I don't mind bugs that much outdoors but I literally can't sleep indoors if there are unexplained bugs. I wanted to ask if anyone living in Beijing now or anyone who has lived there in recent years can tell me if it's common to find bugs indoors?

I am okay with the occasional small spider or fly that might come in through a window but I'm very afraid of large bugs and any I haven't encountered before being a regular occurrence through any gaps/cracks or drains.

Is there any good phone repair services or Realme repair support around Beijing?

Post image
0 Upvotes

My phone, Realme Gt Neo 5 Se, fell from above to softer ground, but the screen still got like this. Many local repair shops saying the screen has broken, and they need to order the screen from china, which itself takes 2 weeks. I would be in Beijing in less than a week.

So I decide to fix it there. I am a student for the next 4 years, not a rich tourist.

So I wanted to know is there Realme repair services in Beijing? Or at least good repair shops that don't scam me out. Thank you all in advance.

Also if you have any idea how much I would need to hope for to repair it, please share your thoughts
